How are others drops today? I went two days getting 8 or 9 items both days since the new drop system's inception . Today I've received zero drops.

[QUOTE=DHB;21524009]How long have you been playing/idling today?[/QUOTE] I idled all night, shut it off around 7AM this morning. Resumed idling again around 9AM. I received 9 drops total yesterday ending at around 7PM PDT.
[QUOTE=BeefMcGraw;21523796]A - User crafted a weapon using SIM or within TF2. B - Server hiccup, there backburner was found much earlier, but not "visible" by the item tracker yet. C - New drop system that works based on time can actually roll with a 1 minute delay. D - Faked, it's very easy to make ST think you have a drop when you didn't. [b]I think it's either B or C.[/b][/QUOTE] A) I don't use SIM and I would never craft a weapon. B) Possible, but I didn't look. C) Who knows D) I suck at coding scripts or whatever how it works so I have no idea how I would do that.
Probably C. I was playing yesterday, and the game told me that I found 2 items at once.
Weekly cycling restarts every week from the 1st drop you get that week, count 7 days from then.
Current record among ST users is 22 drops, and has been stuck there for several hours. [url=http://tf2stats.net/map_info/achievement_idle/]In other news...[/url]
I got 1 item today. Fgdf
no items today for me

Yup,there's weekly cap,I didn't get anything in 5 hours, [editline]10:32PM[/editline] So weekly cap is 28 items?
I've got 3-4 items a day then its just gone dry for the last 3 days (playing properly for like 4hours+, they all seem to get dropped in first 2 hours then nothing).

Their name would be posted on top of Source Tools on everyone :p
Awesome.
I stopped getting drops four hours ago. So is it pretty safe to say that I hit my weekly limit?
[QUOTE=Leather Belt;21533047]So it's pretty safe to say that I hit my weekly limit?[/QUOTE] You phrased a statement as question. Which is it? If question, yes, you've hit the weekly cap.
[QUOTE=EpicBeardMan;21533185]You phrased a statement as question. Which is it? If question, yes, you've hit the weekly cap.[/QUOTE] I knew that didn't sound right, I edited my original post. I don't like the limit thing right now, I'm two weapons away from a Soldier hat.
[QUOTE=Leather Belt;21533355]I knew that didn't sound right, I edited my original post. I don't like the limit thing right now, I'm two weapons away from a Soldier hat.[/QUOTE] Just play normally and you'll get those weapons right quick. Of course, once the weekly cap resets.
Apparently, my bad luck as even wriggled its way into this update. Been over an hour since my last drop, and this is the first time I have idled in days.
[QUOTE=Eva-1337;21534859]Apparently, my bad luck as even wriggled its way into this update. Been over an hour since my last drop, and this is the first time I have idled in days.[/QUOTE] It's by design, not bad luck. I've been playing like I normally do and haven't received a single drop. Whether idling or playing regularly, idling is dead.
I just idled for 13 hours and havent gotten anything in about 15. I guess I hit the limit too! Oh well. Wonder which day the reset will be on.
I hit my limit yesterday.. I'm 4 scrap away from a hat too.
5.2 hours since the new system came in, got a razorback, and chocolate bar... yay [editline]05:44PM[/editline] *heavy eats chocolate* Baloney!!!! what's that sandvich? kill them all? GOOD IDEA! (I think the heavy is a little confused :D ) p.s how do you use emotes?

Yup,I reached my weekly cap.
Well, to me, idling is far from dead... it just has dampened efficiency :p
Idled from around 11pm last night, until around 11am. Got nothing, I guess I hit the limit. I wonder when it's reset.
Got 12 items yesterday, was idling for about 9 hours.
24 hours 4 hours. Would have gotten more after that but I reached the limit for the week.
I have still shit drop rates.
